A router is a very interesting and unpredictable device. Either Wi-Fi disappears all the time, then the Internet is cut off, or in general the settings fly off. In this article, we will try to deal with the problem when the settings on the router are suddenly reset to the factory settings. Yes, as practice shows, this happens. Or, there are still cases when users themselves accidentally press the reset button to return the settings to the factory settings. True, accidentally pressing this button is difficult, it is almost always recessed into the router case. But, there are models when reset is put on one button with activation of the WPS function - I already think this is wrong.
The ability to restore factory settings is a very useful feature. If something is wrongly configured, or the router works as it should, then reset very often helps.
Anyway, if your router's settings are reset, you will have to configure it again... Go to the control panel, set the parameters for connecting to the provider, configure Wi-Fi, etc. It's not difficult, we have a lot of instructions for different manufacturers on our website. Move the mouse over the item Setting up a router in the top menu, select your manufacturer and see the instructions. If not specifically for your model, then the main thing is to find instructions for your manufacturer. Since the control panel on different models of the same manufacturer is usually the same.
How do I know if my router has reset? Most likely, you will understand this by the absence of your Wi-Fi network. It will be, but it will be with a standard name (if your network name has been changed). If you have a lot of Wi-Fi networks at home, then in general you might think that the router is not working, since you are unlikely to immediately see your network with a standard name.
Why can the router itself return the settings to the factory settings? Some kind of system failure, maybe something with power supply, etc. If this happens very often, then you need to carry the router for repair, either under warranty, or buy a new one.
Well, look carefully, don't press the reset button. Configuring a router again is not always easy. Write in the comments, I will try to help with advice.
